Lynyrd Skynyrd Tickets

Jacksonville, Florida produced one of the most prominent names in the annals of rock history. Who hasn’t at the very least heard of the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd? The year was 1964 and teenaged Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins decided to form a band called The Noble Five which was later changed to My Backyard when Larry Junstrom and Bob Burns joined the line-up. Showing signs of great things to come, the band won a Battle-Of-The-Bands contest, for which the prize was the chance to open for the band Strawberry Alarm Clock. 1970 saw the iconic change of name for the band, Lynyrd Skynyrd being a derivative of Leonard Skinner, who was the boys’ gym teacher that harboured a hate for long hair on young men. Much later, Mr. Leonard Skinner, was asked to introduce the band when they performed at Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum one time. Known for their powerhouse performances, honed over years of experience, Lynyrd Skynyrd is a force to be reckoned with on stage.

The band has come a long way from competitions and teenage antics. Surviving tragedy, Lynyrd Skynyrd has proven to be a resilient legacy. 1977 was terrible for the band. Just three days after the release of their album Street Survivors and having performed five shows of their most popular tour to that date, their chartered plane crashed into the forest in Mississippi. Ronnie Van Zant was one of those that died on impact and the death toll included Cassie Gaines, Steve Gaines, the pilot and his co-pilot and the assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick.

Prior to the crash, Lynyrd Skynyrd experienced what most fans think of as the band’s peak years. Their first album was released in 1973 and was titled "(Pronounced 'Leh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)", which was a very clever way of getting noticed and also ensuring that there was no confusion about the pronunciation of their uniquely spelt name. The album has gone platinum thrice since its release and it featured the hit track Free Bird. Ronnie was quoted as referring to the song and its name, saying that, "To me, there's nothing freer than a bird, you know, just flying wherever he wants to go. And, I don't know, that's what this country is all about, being free. I think everyone wants to be a free bird."

This was followed by them opening for The Who on their US tour in 1973, which obviously won them much respect amongst rock music fans. Their second album, titled Second Helping, came out in 1947 and was the bands arrival on the scene, as they say. Totally their breakout album, it featured their most famous song to date, "Sweet Home Alabama". They were the headlining band of that year’s Ozark Music Festival, and this album also eventually went platinum. Lynyrd Skynyrd came out with another album in 1957, Nuthin Fancy, which sadly didn’t do so well as the two the preceded it, and neither did their fourth effort, Gimme Back My Bullets. The answer came with Steve Gaines addition to the band, restoring the three guitar attack Lynyrd Skynyrd was known for and their 1977 album, Street Fighters basically showcased his talent as a guitarist and a vocalist. They recorded the double live album, One More for the Road and performed with The Rolling Stones at Knebworth Festival. The band was just about to perform at Madison Square Garden in December, which was a dream of Van Zant’s, in 1977, when in October, the tragedy of the plane crash brought everything to a halt.

Lynyrd Skynyrd came back in 1987, with the deceased members replaced, and fans of the bands were pleasantly surprised at the fact that they still sounded amazing. They haven’t looked back since. Their latest tour, Rebels and Bandoleros, is set to be yet another amazing tour de force for the boys and their legions of fans across the country. The legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd is awe inspiring; having been listed in the 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time list of The Rolling Stone Magazine, induction into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and the guitar solo in Free Bird has been named the third greatest guitar solo of all time. Gods and Guns was their last album, released in 2009.
